The new offering features collaborations galore, with additions from Billie Eilish for her song 'Are You Gone Already', and Lil Wayne and Tate Kobang for 'RNB', Minaj enlisted J. Cole for 'Let Me Calm Down', and international Canadian megastar Drake for her track 'Needle'.

The first Pink Friday, released in 2010, topped the US Billboard Chart upon its release with its lead single 'SuperBass' reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100. The album went on to be certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Having hinted at the release of this album since 2019 after appearing on Jimmy Fallon performing the lead single 'Megatron', fans have been anticipating Pink Friday 2 for a hot minute. She told Fallon at the time "well, there's definitely a new album, of course"

The first teaser of the album was on June 29, 2020, after Minaj had taken to Twitter to tweet, "PF2", the initials of the album.

Pink Friday 2 is now available on Spotify and fans can listen to the 1 hour 10 minute long record below.
